How to
Step by step[Required] Wear a helmet and back protector.
Always learn it on an airbag setup first. Only attempt it once your backflip and straight airs are dialed.
A wildcat is a cartwheel-style backflip: the board stays pointed down the run and you rotate back over your rear foot (the tail).
A normal backflip goes over your heel side (toward your back); here the axis is turned about 90 degrees.
Approach straight.
Keep your knees softly bent, torso tall, eyes on the lip ahead. Lock your stance just before the lip and stay level side to side. Leaning in tilted wrecks the axis.
At the moment you pop, press evenly from the balls of your feet to your heels on both feet and extend straight up.
Height first. Without air time you cannot finish the rotation.
As you rise, drive your back-foot-side (tail-side) shoulder straight down toward the tail of the board, and let your front-foot-side (nose-side) leg and hip rise.
Keep your shoulders and upper body parallel with the board; that difference is what tips you over the tail.
Look over your back-foot-side shoulder toward the tail you are dropping into.
Your body chases where your head points, so hold that gaze.
Once you start flipping, bend your knees and tuck the board in slightly, drawing your arms toward your body.
The smaller you make yourself, the faster you spin for the same pop. You do not need a hard tuck like a backflip, so adjust by feel for spin speed.
When the landing comes into view below you, extend your knees and hips to open up and stop the rotation.
On contact, bend your knees to absorb the impact, keep the board flat on the snow, and land centered with your body stacked over both feet.
Tips & common mistakes
In the app — learn while you logYour spin is set the instant you leave the lip and cannot be added in the air. So think in two stages: drive the back-foot-side shoulder hard toward the tail on takeoff, then make yourself small in the air to draw out speed.
It turns into a plain backflip → your back-foot-side shoulder goes straight back → drive that shoulder down toward the tail instead, keeping your shoulder line parallel with the board.
